193021073007Ditchling Sussex: St Dominic's Press 1930. First and Limited Edition. Hardcover. Very good. Derrick Thomas. No. 49 of 480 copies octavo size 45 pp. The Saint Dominic's Press founded by Harry Hilary Douglas Clarke Pepler flourished at Ditchling Sussex from 1916 to 1936. The first home of the Press was "a disused stable" with a hundred-year-old Stanhope hand-press which supposedly had belonged to William Morris. Pepler endeavored to do everything possible by hand believing that such would both produce the best results and also be a "more individual or 'humane'.product". He therefore "preferred the handpress to the machine handmade to machine-made paper and handset founder's type to the products of typesetting machines." <br /> <br /> Pepler met Edward Johnston and Eric Gill while living in Hammersmith; Pepler and his family would eventually move to Ditchling to join Gill who was one of the most important artists to provide illustrations for the St. Dominic's Press. Other artists who provided illustrations included David Jones Desmond Chute Philip Hagreen and Thomas Derrick among others. <br /> <br /> This a fascinating association copy: inscribed in the year of publication by Bede Jarrett OP "an English Dominican friar and Catholic priest who was a noted historian and author.who formally reinstated the Dominican order at the University of Oxford for the first time since the dissolution of the monasteries under King Henry VIII." Fr. Jarrett inscribed the volume in the front free endpaper: "For Mother Prioress O.P. / on / Sept. 8: 1930 her silver / Jubilee / from / F. Bede Jarrett O.P.". The Mother Prioress according to an inked notation next to the inscripton is Sr. M. Hyacinth Graham O.P. of whom alas we were unable to find any additional information. <br /> <br /> ___DESCRIPTION: Bound in quarter black cloth over paper covered boards title in gilt on the spine Ex-Libris of the Dominican Nuns St. Dominic's Priory Carisbrooke Isle of Wight on the front pastedown to which order presumably Sr. Graham belonged inscription on the front free endpaper as described above black and white reproduction of a portrait of Fr.

Very Good Turkish Ten original gelatin silver photographs of different views and places of Inebolu district which is a seaside town of Kastamonu city of Turkey, located at the southern coast of the Black Sea. The photos taken by Foto Cebe, established by Sabri Cebecioglu (1900-1985) in Inebolu. Sabri Cebecioglu was a local Turkish photographer immortalizing Atatürk's travels to Kastamonu during the Hat Revolution. This was the world's first hat revolution took place in Turkey in 1925. On November 25 of that year, the parliament passed a law that made it mandatory for all men to wear Western-style hats in public places; all civil servants had to wear them, and no other type of hat would be allowed. All photos sizes' are 9x14 cm, versos of some have small notes in Ottoman script (Old Turkish with Arabic letters). A very good collection of photographs. This photograph collection includes Inebolu's different views: An overhead view of the town center (1939), a view of the town center from the sea (1929), houses and a garden on the Black Sea coast, another view of the town center from the sea (same with 1929 one), buildings and houses of Inebolu (1929), houses and a mosque by the river (1937), houses and buildings (no date), Black Sea coast of the town (1936?), the coast of town with ships and view of the town center from the sea with fishermen's boats (no date). Inebolu is a town and district of the Kastamonu Province in the Black Sea region of Turkey. It is a typical Black Sea port town with many fine examples of traditional domestic architecture. Inebolu was initially called Aboniteichos. The name was changed to Ionopolis in the middle of the 2nd century CE. Over time, the name "Ionopolis" metamorphosed to "Inepolis", and then to "Inebolu", though sometimes spelled "Ineboli" by foreign travelers. By 1834, Inebolu was considered a sub-district of today's city of Kure (approx. 30 km (19 mi) inland), but it became a district in its own right in 1867. In the late 19th and early 20th century, Inebolu was part of the Kastamonu Vilayet of the Ottoman Empire. During the Turkish War of Independence, arms and ammunition were transferred to Anatolia through Inebolu. The town was attacked and defended itself with determination, for which it was honored with the Independence Medal by the Turkish Grand National Assembly. Atatürk initiated a campaign in Inebolu to reform personal appearance and "civilize" garments; Atatürk made a well-known speech about hats there. In accordance with the population exchange between Greece and Turkey in 1923, the town's Greek inhabitants were exiled to Greece. Many of these emigrants settled in a neighborhood called Inepolis in the Athenian suburb of Nea Ionia. (Source: Wikipedia).
